Honestly, thatâs a perfect answer.
Sometimes the best Jeep trip is just that first drive home where it finally hits you that itâs yours. The ride, the view over traffic, the Jeep sway⊠hard to explain unless youâve experienced it. đ
Oh yeah⊠those bug-heavy highways are brutal đ
Itâs not even a quick wipe either â once they bake on there youâre basically scrubbing at that point.
Is there a particular cleaner that you've found better than others?
Thatâs awesome đ€ track laps at Daytona is such a cool experience.
That line-up is wild too⊠looks like a solid turnout already.
How was it on the track? Pretty surreal seeing that many Jeeps out there?
Jeep Beach 2026 is going on right now đ„
We were down there a couple years ago and it was unreal! Figured weâd share a few shots to kick things off.
Whoâs there this week?
Letâs see the builds đ
That's another great question.
With tear-offs being designed to be removed and replaced, I'd be cautious about scraping and treating them like a normal windshield surface long-term.
The more permanent film options that are built to handle everyday use like scraping, temperature swings, and...
This is a great question and something a lot of people ask about especially with our harsh winters.
Since tear-offs are external and meant to be replaced, theyâre generally not built around long-term use or repeated defroster cycles.
The more permanent film options are typically designed for...
Thatâs an awesome run! Especially at 112k.
Sounds like youâve got it dialed in pretty well, and sticking with that tire setup clearly hasnât hurt either.
Always good to hear from someone having the opposite experience. đ
Thatâs a solid run overall. Especially with trips like Rausch Creek and Moab.
And yes the windshield keeps coming up across the board. Sadly these are windshield chip magnets.
Are you trying to ride it out? Or looking to replace?
Thatâs rough⊠especially having the back glass leak come back again.
And being on your third windshield definitely lines up with what a lot of owners are seeing on these.
At some point it just gets old dealing with replacements over and over. Some owners end up looking into windshield...
Super gluing it multiple times is commitment đ
Might be worth looking into some kind of protection for it â those bigger, more upright windshields really seem to take a beating.
Sounds like youâve been through just about everything on it⊠and you're not the first to mention the shocks are not great.
Not sure on the tapered bolt differences by year, perhaps someone whoâs worked across a few model years can weigh in on.
Oh yea I don't blame you for not wanting to do this work without a lift. But sounds like youâve got a solid handle on it already and hopefully it ends up being something straight forward once you get in there!
Thatâs a smart move if youâre planning to keep it long term.
Glad to hear theyâve been holding up better since and hopefully that trend continues. đ€
Yeah that makes sense. The more upright the windshield, the more it just seems to catch everything.
Sounds like youâve had a good run overall though. Hopefully this one lasts a bit longer. đ€
If it does start becoming a pattern, there are protection films out there that can help take the hit...
